I first started surfing in 2013 when I was 31 years old. It completely changed my life.

Now, at 42, I feel truly honored to represent South Korea again as a longboard national team member.

This year, I was able to come to this competition thanks to the support of Korean surfers who really love and believe in surfing.

To show my appreciation, I wrote their names on my surfboard and brought their support with me into every wave.



It’s a big honor to be here as a national athlete, and I’m proud to share this experience with everyone who supported me along the way.

I’m deeply thankful to everyone who supported me on this journey.

저는 14년 전 서핑을 시작한 한국인 서퍼입니다. 강원도의 해안 도시인 양양에서 대부분의 시간을 훈련하며 보냈고, 현재는 웨이브파크에 거주하며 서핑을 계속하고 있습니다.

I’m a longboard surfer from South Korea, passionate about expressing flow, balance, and grace on the waves.

I started surfing in 2013 and quickly fell in love with the art of longboarding.

Since then, I’ve competed in national and international events, and won the 2023 Bali Kuta Padrol Longboard Classic in Indonesia.

Through surfing, I hope to share the beauty of connection — with the ocean, with people, and with myself.
